Tragedy struck in Plateau State as gunmen killed Mrs. Mary Jonathan and her son, Mark Jonathan, in an attack on the Hwollaza Zaria Road in Jos. The violent incident, which has left the community in shock, was confirmed by Hon. Yusuf Adamu Gagdi, a member of the House of Representatives, who revealed that the victims were his mother-in-law and brother-in-law.
The brutal killing occurred under unclear circumstances, and details remain sparse as authorities investigate the tragic event. The victims were laid to rest on Saturday, November 2, at the family’s home in Jos, in a solemn ceremony attended by grieving relatives and friends.
In a heartfelt tribute, Hon. Gagdi, who represents the Pankshin/Kanam/Kanke Federal Constituency, expressed his sorrow over the loss and called for justice. "Today, alongside my wife Jemimah, we laid to rest her mother, Mrs. Mary Jonathan, and our brother, Mark Jonathan, who were tragically taken from us by violent and senseless acts," he shared. "We honor their memories, pray and seek justice. Rest well, Mama and Brother Mark. May God Almighty expose the perpetrators of this heinous crime.”
Gagdi described the murders as a devastating reminder of the fragility of life. “It is appointed unto every soul to taste death, but yours, regrettably, came through the barrel of some trigger-happy men of the underworld," he lamented. "Your tragic murder has left a void in our lives. Rest well, Mama. May God Almighty expose those responsible."
As the community mourns, security forces have pledged to intensify efforts to track down those involved in the killing, hoping to bring a measure of justice and peace to the grieving family.
